I guess you could also add elements that are not technically 'empty' elements, but which have been left empty by the author, such as an empty <p></p> element. But in this case it's not a class of element so much as the state of an element. (I just made that up, but it sounds cool. )

This is why HTML now calls <br> and friends for "void" elements.

I also wondered where the term "replaced" elements fits in, for things like images. Is it technical term or not, as it wasn't included in Victorinox's link above?
